I am very much interested about Crete and Cuba, and I always
want to see what THE GREAT ROUND WORLD says about them.
I was interested about Princess Charlotte of Belgium. I hope you
will tell us more about her.
I hope that Cuba will gain her liberty, and that Crete will free
herself from the rule of Turkey.
I think that King George of Greece is a very nice man, and I
hope that he will keep the Powers from interfering with Greece.
The kindergarten for the blind is in Jamaica Plain, very near
us, and last week I went to an exhibition there.
Sometimes I visit the kindergarten, and I have often seen the
girls knitting and sewing.
Our teacher, Miss Cushman, takes THE GREAT ROUND WORLD. She
lends it to the girls who do not take it, and they find out
about Crete and Greece. We are studying about the Eastern
Question, and your magazine helps us to find what we want. Do
you know any more about the big python that was found in
Florida, or was it just taken to the Smithsonian Institute?
Will you please send me a "Who? When? What?" Chart?
Your devoted reader,
